PER CURIAM:*

Roshon Lee Mason appeals his jury conviction for possession with intent to distribute crack cocaine. He argues that the district court abused its discretion when it admitted evidence of marihuana found in the apartment, testimony that a .22 caliber rifle was found in the apartment, and an envelope with a return address of a Louisiana prison.

* Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4.

No. 97-40020 -2- discretion. United States v. Hays, 872 F.2d 582, 587 (5th Cir. 1989). With respect to the rifle, the district court sustained Mason’s objection to the rifle and prohibited any reference to it. Accordingly, that issue is without merit. With respect to both the marihuana and the envelope, the district court gave a prompt and thorough limiting instruction as to those items. Juries are presumed to follow the instructions of the court. See Zafiro v. United States, 506 U.S. 534, 540-41 (1993); United States v. Torres, 114 F.3d 520, 526 (5th Cir. 1997), cert. denied, 1997 WL 562154 (U.S. Oct. 14, 1997). The court’s instruction adequately neutralized any potential prejudice from this evidence. Accordingly, the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
